THE WAY FAM

Avocational Wellness (aka hobbies)

Listen Later

Today we talk about the importance of hobbies and how they impact daily life. Zach has a Karen moment and rants about content creators. We talk about different hobbies and how they bring joy, foster creativity, and provide balance in a busy household. From sewing and leatherwork to baking, we cover how hobbies help us stay engaged and avoid the pitfalls of low-quality leisure.

 

Here’s what we cover:

  • High vs. Low-Quality Leisure: the difference between passive activities and engaging hobbies.
  • Finding the Right Hobby: how to discover hobbies that bring joy and fulfillment, and why it’s crucial to have hobbies outside of work and family obligations.
  • Hands-On Activities: the benefits of engaging in hands-on hobbies like sewing, leatherwork, and cooking, and how they can lead to a sense of accomplishment and creativity.
  • Digital Distractions: the impact of digital devices on our lives and the importance of setting boundaries to stay present and engaged.
  • Social Media and Hobbies: the influence of content creators and social media on hobbies and how to maintain authenticity in a digital world.
